Artefactual dating evidence was limited to a single sherd of Roman pottery but the character of the deposits suggests that most of them are likely to be of later prehistoric or Roman date.

The work was commissioned by Mr John Salmon of Land and Mineral Management Ltd, The Roundhouse Cottages, Bridge Street, Frome, Somerset BA11 1BE on behalf of Ham and Doulting Stone Ltd. Planning permission is to be sought from Somerset County Council to extract lias mineral from a 8.9ha parcel of land. The results of a field evaluation have been requested to determine if the site has archaeological potential and if so, to produce information to mitigate the impact of the proposed extraction. This is in accordance with the Department for Communities and Local Government’s Planning Policy Statement, Planning for the Historic Environment (PPS5 2010) and the County Council’s Mineral Plan Policies on archaeology. The field investigation was carried out to a specification approved by Mr Steven Membery, Senior Historic Environment Officer of Somerset County Council. The fieldwork was undertaken by Andrew Weale, Steve Crabb, David Platt, James Early, Chris Crabb, Aidan Colyer and Jackie Pitt from 6th to 9th December 2011 and the site code is TQS11/118. The archive is presently held at Thames Valley Archaeological Services, South West, Taunton and will be deposited with Somerset County Museum Service, with accession code TTN CM 101/2011 and PRN 31537. The archaeological potential of the site was revealed by an earlier desk-based assessment (Hollinrake 2011). This indicated Roman finds were common in and around the Charltons and extensive quarrying in these two medieval villages (Charlton Adam and Charlton Mackrell) has revealed masonry associated with Roman finds. Location, topography and geology The site is located at to the south of the village of Charlton Adam (Fig. 1), with Charlton Mackrell to the north- west, Babcary to the north-east, the town of Somerton lies approximately 4km to the west and the A37 Fosse Way (Roman road) lies 750m to the east. The site slopes from around 29m above Ordnance Datum in the west down to 24.5m in the east. It is bordered to the west by the present quarry workings and to the north, east and 1 south by farmland. Currently the site is a large grass covered agricultural field (Fig. 2). An area of the site recorded by geophysical survey (below)is considered to be that of a former pond or old pit. This area of the site was generally flat but the outline could be seen as a cropmark within the grass (Fig. 7). This area was excluded from the evaluation. The underlying geology is mapped as Jurassic Lower Lias Clay with some Limestone (BGS 1973), A mixture of limestone and clays were observed within the trenches. Archaeological background An archaeological desk based assessment highlighted the potential of archaeology within the area surrounding the site (Hollinrake 2011). In summary it has noted that Roman finds are common in the area with the site of Roman buildings to the north at Bull Lawn Lane, Charlton Mackrell and another at Hally Hill to the south-west The course of the Fosse Way Roman road lies just to the east of the site (Margary 1955). Both Carlton Adam (Cerletone) and Charlton Mackrell (Cerletune) are mentioned in Domesday Book (AD 1086) (Williams and Martin, 2002). A geophysical survey on the site (Haddrell 2011) has identified strong evidence for archaeological features in the form of a probable prehistoric round house and several enclosures. Weaker evidence for archaeological features exists within the site consisting of possible former field boundaries and possible hearth-like features. The survey also found evidence for magnetic disturbance, possible geological responses, a series of land drains and at least two phases of agricultural activity (Fig. 7). Objectives and methodology The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the presence/absence, extent, condition, character, quality and date of any archaeological deposits within the area of development. This work was carried out in a manner which did not compromise the integrity of archaeological features or deposits which may warrant preservation in-situ, or which would better be excavated under conditions pertaining to full excavation. The specific research aims of this project are; To determine if archaeological deposits of any period are present. To determine if any Iron Age or Roman deposits are present which represent further occupation of this area. To determine if any Iron Age or Roman deposits representing ancillary settlement features such as enclosures, field systems or cemeteries are present. To determine if there is any medieval occupation in the area. To determine the impact of the development on the archaeological resource. 2 We proposed to dig 19 trenches, 2m wide and between 10m and 50m long (2.0% of available site area). The trenching was specifically positioned to examine the geophysical anomalies thought to be of archaeological origin (Fig.7), but did not initially target the ring gully anomaly. Topsoil, and any other overburden was to be removed by a 3600 tracked machine fitted with a toothless ditching bucket to expose archaeologically sensitive levels, under constant archaeological supervision. Excavation of exposed archaeological features was to be carried out by hand and spoil heaps were to be searched for artefacts. A metal detector was to be used to enhance the recovery of metal finds. Results All the trenches were excavated as intended and an additional trench, 20, was excavated after consultation with the Somerset archaeological officer, to examine the possible ring gully revealed in the geophysical survey (Fig. 3). The trenches varied from 10m to 50m long and from 0.35m deep to 0.80m deep; all were 2.1m wide. A complete list of trenches giving lengths, breadths, depths and a description of sections and geology is given in Appendix 1. A complete list of features investigated forms Appendix 2. Trench 1 Trench 1 was aligned WNW - ESE and was 25.5m long and 0.50m deep. The stratigraphy consisted of 0.25m of topsoil and 0.20m of subsoil overlying brown yellow clay with frequent limestone fragments (natural geology). No archaeological features were present and no finds were recovered. The geophysical anomaly in this area may be a change corresponding to an area of higher limestone content within the clay natural. Trench 2 (Figs 4 and 6) Trench 2 was aligned SSW - NNE and was 18.6m long and 0.55m deep. The stratigraphy consisted of 0.25m of topsoil and 0.15m of subsoil overlying natural geology overlying bedded limestone(as in Trench 1). Two ditches were recorded. Located at the south end of the trench, ditch 2 was aligned west-east, was over 1.2m wide, 0.80m deep and was filled with mid grey brown clay (53) with occasional limestone, and contained a fragment of iron as well as a piece of modern bottle glass. Ditch 2 could be seen as a cropmark within the grass of the field roughly parallel with the northern edge of the site and could be seen to cross trenches 2, 3, 4 and 5 (recorded as ditches 2, 7, 20 and 15) but did not show on the geophysical survey. At 8m from the south end of the trench, ditch 3 was 4m wide (the ditch was only excavated to 2.2m wide due to the presence of an active land drain) and 0.45m deep, and filled with mid brown silty clay (54) with occasional limestone fragments. No finds were recovered. Ditch 3 was in a similar position and alignment to a large geophysical anomaly. 3 Trench 3 (Figs 4 and 6) Trench 3 was aligned SSW - NNE and was 37.1m long and 0.40m deep.

  • Charlton Mackrell Cofe Primary School History
    Charlton Mackrell CofE Primary School History Education in The Charltons first began with Sunday Schools, but Church Daily Schools were started in both Charlton Mackrell and Charlton Adam in 1830. The school in Adam closed and an Infants School only was opened from 1865 until 1917. In 1846, Charlton Mackrell School had 82 pupils of all ages, but only one room and a small house for the teacher. We don't know whether it was on this site or in the grounds of the Rectory, which is now called "The Court". The Rector was the Reverend William Thomas Parr Brymer, who began a complete restoration of the church in 1847. We believe he also planned the unique school building, designed by the architect C E Giles, which we still enjoy today. Certainly in 1846 he left money in his will to pay for the schoolteacher and other running costs of the school, as recorded on the brass plaque near the altar in Charlton Mackrell Church. After he died in August 1852, his brother James Snaith Brymer paid for this school building as a memorial to him and the recent restoration of the main schoolroom ceiling has revealed the commemorative inscription around the walls. The first schoolteacher we know about was Miss Elizabeth Rooke, from London. She left early in 1853, perhaps due to the new school building. After her were schoolmasters, W. Jackson, W. Wrigley, and then William Tyler. William Tyler was the schoolmaster and the church organist for nearly 10 years from 1856. There were also paid pupil teachers and monitors, as well as a schoolmistress for the Infants class.

  • Dedicattons of Tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©Ometsetsftire. “L
    DeDicattons of tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©ometsetsftire. BY THE KEY. E. H. BATES, M.A HE late Mr. W illiam Long contributed to the seventeenth “L volume of the Proceedings in 1871 a classified list of the Church Dedications given by Ecton in his Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum, 1742. As Editor of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Kalendar my attention has been frequently drawn, from my own knowledge as well as by numerous correspon- dents, to the many errors and gaps in that list. It became plainly necessary to go behind the Thesaurus to the original sources of information. And here I may be allowed to repro- duce what I have already stated in the preface to the Kalendar for 1905. It should be clearly understood that there is no authoritative list in existence. Among the Public Becords are two works known as Pope Nicholas’ Taxatio of 1291, and the Valor Ec- clesiasticus of 27 Henry VIII (1536), containing the names of all parishes in England and Wales. These were primarily drawn up to ascertain the value of the benefices, and only in- cidentally, as in the case of towms with many churches, are the dedications added. The latter work, to which the title of V^ahr Ecclesiasticus or Liber Regis is generally given, was first printed in 1711 by J ohn Ecton. His preface contains a very interesting account of the early work of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Fund, of which he was Receiver, and of the serious state of affairs in the large towns which led to its foundation.

Introduction 1.1 This paper considers the suitability of the District’s many Rural Settlements for growth. The current Local Plan does not allocate housing and employment to specific villages, seeking to direct most development to Yeovil, the Market Towns and Rural Centres. However, new housing has been delivered in the Rural Settlements far in excess of what the Local Plan anticipated; and similarly, new commercial buildings have, in the main, been provided away from the established employment locations and sites allocated for that purpose. Rather than continue with this somewhat arbitrary situation, the Review of the Local Plan offers the opportunity to look again at the various smaller settlements around the District to ascertain which might offer the best and most sustainable locations for limited growth and possible designation as ‘Villages’. 1.2 The Review of the Local Plan has also resulted in the potential removal of the role of ‘Rural Centre’ from Stoke sub Hamdon. This is because the settlement has many constraints and the number of commercial outlets in the centre is relatively restricted. It could instead be designated a ‘Village’ in recognition of its size and numbers of other facilities relative to the remaining Rural Settlements.
